“Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

I remember, as a young girl, driving around town on Christmas Eve and looking at all the Christmas lights. There was one house that always had a Santa and reindeer on the roof, and my Dad always commented that Santa had started his deliveries already and that we better get home, and get to bed so that he could come to our home too.

Isn’t creating memories what it’s all about during the Christmas season?

Another fun idea for the Reindeer Food is to add it to cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon or twine. Then give it to classmates before Christmas break, or friends in the neighborhood.
